Back in the fall of 2006, Daron Malakian, lead guitarist of System Of A Down spat his dummy out and essentially said, “Screw you guys! I wanna go make my own band! Something completely different from SOAD!”. So, off he went, and he took drummer Jon Dolmayan along with him to form Scars On Broadway; a band that sounds near identical to SOAD. But, before he could even get his line-up sorted, frontman Serj Tankian called his bluff and raised him by making his own solo album and jetting off on a world tour.

You will find no bigger System Of A Down fan than I. I hold the utmost admiration for their frontman Serj Tankian as an artist, so to give this gig an average/mediocre score of 6/10 pains me so. But if you read on, you will see why.

In the eyes of many fans and critics, Serj Tankian has done nothing but disappoint since the split of System Of A Down and birth of his solo project. ‘Elect The Dead’ contained some solid, albeit generic songs, but all the while his solo work didn’t live up to the standard he set with SOAD. That is until now. ‘Imperfect Harmonies’ lives up to that standard and surpasses it by a mile.
